Across America people are waking up and tuning in to see Ohtani and Japan says, "We have Ohtani at home."

If an indy baller comes out if the bullpen and K's a big leaguer on three pitches someone has to offer him a contract, right?

Brandon Sproat's tenure as the Brewers' hardest thrower this spring (99.8 mph) lasted exactly one Misiorowski pitch (99.9 mph).

This take is going to annoy some folks. There are plenty of "What do fans think about (subject)?" questions that are interesting or useful, but "What do fans think about the health of the league?" isn't one of them.

It'd be cool for everyone involved if the Brewers brought someone who knows these minor leaguers down to tell us about them on broadcasts. Chris Mehring, Javik Blake et al have years of context on these guys and could make these late innings a lot of fun.

I also like Luis Lara a lot, having watched and talked to him regularly during his time with the Timber Rattlers. Learning that Murphy loves him, however, made me laugh out loud. One could say he's on Murph's Short List.

Re: the Yankees retiring Sabathia's number

possibly the most brutal strikeout in baseball history

Men's NCAA teams leading their conference in eFG% on both offense and defense this season: Michigan (B1G) Saint Louis (A-10) St. Thomas (Summit) Charleston Southern (Big South) Bethune Cookman (SWAC) Le Moyne (NEC) Vermont (America East)

Orange you glad you got this update?

I’m so happy for the U.S. women and so crushed for the a Canadian women. What a great game. EVERYONE WATCH THE PWHL NOW AND YOU CAN KEEP WATCHING ALL THESE PLAYERS GO AT IT!

Maybe more sports should play with fewer players in OT in the playoffs? Imagine an 8-on-8 Super Bowl.

Any reason why we can't just give both teams gold?

Even Peacock itself is talking about the men during the women's game, asking me to set a reminder for their game during the women's gold medal game.

Abbey Murphy being the first player into the penalty box in US/Canada was today's most predictable thing.

For much of its existence Weird Al's own Twitter bio referred to him as "the Eat It guy." You can pretend your favorite Al song is the right answer, but you're just kidding yourself or overcomplicating the question.

kenny albert loves talkin about dudes. doesn’t matter if the u.s women’s hockey team is in a tight semifinal at the olympics, he’s gonna talk about some dudes.

Just once, I would love to see one NFL game that talks as much about the players' kids as every women's hockey broadcast does.

*Downgrades Orioles projections by three wins*

It's very much like when your kid is too full to finish their vegetables, but insistent they've saved *juuust enough* space for dessert.

Is there anything more frustrating than when streaming content is all glitchy and low quality, then it goes to commercial and they're fine?

He’s not a self-promoter, but I continue to enjoy @bykylelobner.bsky.social’s weekly Shepherd Express #Brewers entries shepherdexpress.com/topics/kyle-...

They've been making Hawaiian shirts for most of a century and they still haven't figured out to make more of the big sizes and less of the small ones.

What's the conversation like when TV folks want to put a heart monitor on athletes' family members so we can watch their panic level? I can't imagine a scenario where I don't tell them to shove that monitor somewhere.

Relevant to nothing, but found while looking for something else: Rutgers, Oregon and Maryland men's basketball teams are a combined 0-31 in Quad 1 games this season and 26-13 in all others.

One of the last pieces I write all year is also one of the most important ones. Take a moment today to remember the players with Brewers, Milwaukee Braves and Wisconsin connections we lost this year:

Born this Day: Richie Sexson W/Brewers: 2000-2003 2x All-Star .902 OPS 133 HR 398 RBI 11.3 WAR

I'm not confident anything has gotten better since we made Johnny Knoxville famous.

For context: The Brewers' 70 full shares is closer to the low end of the spectrum (the Phillies gave out 64) than the high end (the Red Sox gave out 91).

There might not be anybody in sports who gets less from more and then blames it on his players quite like Penny Hardaway.

One of the routine defenses of the Brewers' low payroll is that they spend money on stuff like this. So now that they don't have to/can't we should expect a big influx of spending, right?

The Giants, who missed the postseason by just two games, got the #4 pick in the 2026 Draft. The Reds, who got that postseason spot and faced the Dodgers on the road, were left out of the lottery. The draft lottery might disincentivize tanking, but it doesn't always disincentivize losing.

The 2026 ZiPS projections for the Milwaukee Brewers are now up on @fangraphs.com. blogs.fangraphs.com/2026-zips-pr...

If you see Christian Yelich today be sure to wish him a happy 34th birthday. Maybe don't tell him, however, that I suggested the Brewers might use a Freddy Peralta deal to try to unload his contract: shepherdexpress.com/sports/brewe...

Happy Thanksgiving, Brewers fans.

This is the underrated cousin of "Enjoy your meal"/"Thanks, you too."

OH: "Hey man, how are you?" "Good, how are you?" "Good, how are you?" "Good."

If the MLB offseason was a nine inning game, today we'd be starting the top of the second inning.

Today I learned that the "club" in "book club" is a noun, not a verb. Now what am I supposed to do with all these hardcover books?

Am I breaking #Brewers video game news now? I guess so. I helped reveal Brewers #FINEST2025 in @MLBTHESHOW mlbthe.show/finest2025

"You can’t salary cap a team into caring; it can only punish the teams that do." On the Dodgers, and the exhausting conversation ahead:

Shoutout to The Field of 68 for attempting to revive the Tip Off Marathon. Much appreciated

Chris Bassitt on change in routines with the bullpen move: Can't have a rally beer anymore

This game needs to end just so we can stop seeing all these commercials for awful Fox shows.

Super pumped for Janet Jackson. And Ohtani too, I guess.

OH: "I don't want endorphins! They never come in my size!"
